Wills and Kate

I am going out of chronological order again, simply because this picture was too good not to kick off with (we'll get to more of this bit later, trust). Also, I desperately need someone to explain to me in great detail how it is possible that she never, ever looks sweaty. I'm serious. Does she just coat her entire body with aerosol antiperspirant? Because otherwise I fear it's magic.

Wills and Kate Deplane

And now, back to the start: This is a lot of monochrome, which is uncharacteristic for these two. And I have never said this before, but I think Kate....needs a bracelet.

Kate's Earrings

Fabulous earrings, though. What Kate Wore thinks they're by Catherine Zoraida and I enjoy them deeply.

Wills and Kate and a Spear

Heather pointed out that the look on William's face is exactly the same expression that George would have gotten on his face had he been present, namely: I WANT THAT SPEAR. PLEASE HAND ME THAT SPEAR. I WANT TO SEE THE SPEAR PLEASE.

I would also like to point out that the people they're visiting here AGREED about her need for a bracelet and they GAVE HER ONE. WELL PLAYED.

Wills and Kate and the Spear

THANK YOU.

A spear IS a delightful gift. (Per The Express, it was suggested that William torture Harry with it, and I think we can all agree that he should definitely come home and threaten grievous stabbery the next time Harry misbehaves.)

Kate's Bracelet

Seriously, though. This bracelet is good.

Wills and Kate and a Map

Only someone with a geography degree can look THIS delighted by a map.

Wills and Kate

I guess this is fine if you're into the whole majestic power of nature and the tremendous beauty of the world sort of thing.

Additionally, the body language on these two during this walk is cracking me up. I have never seen two people retrain themselves from hand-holding more powerfully (we've obviously seen them hold hands at Christmas,, but they're very very often holding hands when the paparazzi get them off duty). JUST HOLD HANDS YOU TWO MY GOD. If you can't hold hands at a UNESCO World Heritage Site WHERE CAN YOU?

Wills and Kate

"MUST. NOT. HOLD. HANDS. THIS. IS. AGONY."

You'll note that she's now wearing a necklace she was given, in place of the bracelet. Well, and, obviously, her Hobbs dress. I admit that I am unclear as to why she changed at all -- I really thought today was going to be a one-outfit outing -- but I prefer this dress, so I'll take it.

WIlls and Kate in front of Uluru

Scoot some stuff around on top of the piano to make room for this one, please. THANK YOU.

Well Played: Kate, Wills, and George’s Royal Tour of Australia and New Zealand, Day Fifteen
Fifteen days down, four days to go! Today, Wills and Kate left the baby at home and went to Uluru/Ayers Rock, which is apparently very warm and also extremely beautiful. It's a UNESCO World heritage site, I learned today, and there are water holes and cave paintings and all matter of interestingness; it's also sacred to the Aboriginal people in the area, and I am SURE there are Fug Nationals who can speak to all of this with much greater authority than I can, as you guys have awesomely done throughout this trip (including this weekend's discussion of koala chlamydia, which is a sincerely amazing indie band name). Diana and Charles made much the same visit, back in the day, and I decided that William's All Khaki outfit is a shout-out to his Pa's ensemble when they visited (although as our friend Abby Gardner points out, it's also much more practical in the heat and dust). I also decided that his bringing out the forearms once again is a shout-out to me. Kate started off Roksanda Ilincic again --it's similar to this one she wore in 2012, but this version is custom, I believe (the belting sort of reminds me of Diana's dress that I linked to above a very wee tiny bit as well). This is not my favorite of her wardrobe so far, I must admit; I like that the color is sophisticated but it might also be a little drab. It seems prettier to me inside than it does out in the bright sun, though. Regardless, three cheers for The Freedom of Kate's Knees and the fact that no one made her wear pantyhose. Then! She changed into a dress I was legit just thinking about, because I love it, this Hobbs frock from from that time ping pong was played and Harry and William levitated things. (We were just talking about William levitating things! Am I making things happen on this trip solely with the power of my mind? Have I accumulated some royals-specific version of The Secret?) William did not change, wisely, and they met school kids and saw dancing, and walked around, and tried so hard not to hold hands (and sadly succeeded. More hand-holding, always, for everyone, is my vote). Pop into the slideshow and take a look, because I really need to go to sleep now. (I'll update this post tomorrow morning if anything thrilling occurs when I am unconscious, never fear.) PS: this is where they're staying tonight, per Duchess Kate Blog, (I hope the site loads for you; it's been down A LOT lately, presumably because we're all eyeballing where Kate and Wills are glamping). If it doesn't load for you, I can tell you that it looks awesome. Put it on the list, Fug Nation! [Photos: Getty]
